Weekend Recap

Another crazy cheer weekend is in the books! And I'm exhausted, which has led to me getting sick. But I'm not letting that get me down because it's dress down week at school, I won my Diet Bet & I don't have practice tonight! #focusonthepositiveFriday afternoon started with a quick trip to Target to stock up on some essentials. And when I say essentials, I actually mean essentials. I bought baby food, ring pops for my cheerleaders, and shampoo. It was the most boring Target run ever. Then, I headed to meet Eric to take a tour of a possible Pre-K for Ella next year. The tour went really well & we finally have a plan for her next year. I truly can't believe how early I had to make this decision, but now that it's set I'm happy that it's settled! Eric picked up the girls from Miss Jennie's & I headed to my basketball game. Thankfully it was a quick game & I was home before 7 on a game night, which never happens.Saturday morning my alarm went off at 5:30 am (I hate setting an alarm on weekends!) so that I could get ready for a long day of competition. I was out the door by 6:30 & at the school to meet the squad by 7. The rest of the day is honestly a blur, but my squad looked amazing & I'm so proud of them!

My mom, sister, Ella & Aunt Babs all came to cheer us on! It was hard to spend too much time with them while I was there, but they're all cheerleading fans so I think (hope) they enjoyed themselves.I rode the bus back to school, then hopped in my car to meet the rest of my family at The Distillery for dinner. At this point, I was officially sick & all that sounded good was chicken wings. The hot sauce cleared out my head & I felt better for awhile, but I was definitely ready for bed when we got home.But you know who wasn't ready for bed? Livy. She was a total chatterbox & refused to go to sleep until 9:30 which is totally unlike her!

Ella spent the night at her Aunt Britt's with my parents, so I slept in until 6:45 then got Livy & myself to go over & join them. I'd barely had a real conversation with my parents, so I wanted to spend some time with them before they headed back to Saratoga.Livy was so happy to see her Grammy & Gramps!

After a few hours of hanging out, we all got ready & went to Cracker Barrel for brunch. I somehow managed to eat only one biscuit, even though I had both hands free for once since my mom fed Livy for me. After brunch Ella headed off to shop with her Grammy & found these new Frozen rain boots. I had been thinking about buying her a pair of Hunters for Valentine's Day but she's totally smitten with these & they were half the cost, so I'm rolling with it.

I wish I could say that I came home & was super productive all afternoon but that would be a ginormous lie. I did get a few tasks accomplished, but a vast portion of the evening was spent with me lying on the couch reading a book, snuggling with Livy & battling off a cold.

I walked less that 5,000 steps, but I'm okay with it because my body definitely needed a day to recharge! Have a Happy Monday friends, it's going to be a good week!
